I am going to say only this is what they are telling us. They do not know with certainty. It is all a crap shoot. They still do not understand what covid is, much less do they know with certainty that what they have developed in the way of a shot is effective. CDC is still saying to wear a mask, they are still saying to social distance, they are still saying do not travel either domestically nor internationally. They are saying you can gather with other vaccinated family members but if with people who are unvaccinated, wear a mask and keep your distance.
If you think getting the shots makes you superman, then you will act like superman. If you think those who are not getting the shots should be avoided at all costs, then why did you get the shots? There are commercials on tv where Willie Nelson is singing “I’ll Be Seeing You”. It’s showing full stadiums, filled basketball arenas and other such sights saying if you get your shot, all these things will be returned to us. Well, we just bought some Atlanta Braves tickets. We have to wear masks, there is sparse seating available, and concessions will be delivered to our seats to keep us out of the concession area. We’re going. Looking forward to it and will abide by whatever rules they have In place. But Willie’s commercial is a lie and very misleading. Admittedly, it looks good. And, yes, we bought our Braves tickets after the All-Star Game announcement last week in show of support for the Braves, not the MLB Commissioner. But we will go knowing there are still risks there. I am sick of being afraid and having lives ruined by something that was created in Wuhan, China, which (in case you did not know) our biden government is once again financially supporting with mine and your taxpayer money.
People died in Washington state last week after receiving both shots weeks ago. It is acknowledged the ones who died were in that same older age group that has been in danger the entire time. Another 10-12 were hospitalized, not in that age group. My argument is the shots did not protect them. Did it make their deaths any less painful and easier to bear? Are those in the hospital less sick? Are any of them on ventilators? I don’t know the answers to this except to say if I had been one who died, I would still be just as dead. And saying we won’t know the effectiveness of the shots for 6 months to a year has me asking why, then, are those who believe themselves now invincible not instead being held to strict guidelines just like those who have not received the shots? Instead, Willie is telling us gets your jabs and go out to a game with its full stadium.
Our neighbor has just gotten out of the hospital after more than 30 days there. He had a reaction to the covid shot and almost died. Now we have the story of Fluff at Alabama. While horrifically tragic, I only can wonder if Fluff as a university student had received his shots or if because of his age, he had not gotten them. Or if upon admission to DCH he automatically received a shot. In some instances, this is being done.
